Eclipse Weave 3.0 — The Architecture of the Invisible
0. Premise: Maps as Portals
Astrology, tarot, ritual: not clocks but quantum maps. They show all timelines at once — past, present, future. Invisible points (nodes, lots, vertex, Lilith, zenith) are not “things” but structural hinges. Eclipses are the moments when this invisible architecture lights up.
1. Day Gate / Night Gate
Day Gate = solar zenith, pyramids, Sirius risings. Visible, civic, agricultural.
Night Gate = lunar nodes, eclipses, shadow corridors. Invisible, initiatory, dangerous.
Both are valid return routes; Trans* archetype is the living bridge between them.
2. Eclipse as Architecture of Invisible Points
Universal (always present in every eclipse)
Nodes (North/South):
- The actual astronomical mechanism of eclipses: Sun and Moon aligned with where the Moon’s orbit crosses the ecliptic.
- These are the doors of the corridor — no nodes, no eclipse.
Personal Resonance (only activated if touched)
Vertex/Antivertex: Intersection of ecliptic with prime vertical. Personal “fate windows.”
Lots (Fortune, Spirit, etc.): Derived arcs of Sun/Moon/Asc. Personal “floor plan” of how fate manifests (body, daimon, eros).
Ascendant/Descendant: Horizon threshold. If eclipses fall here, identity/relationship axis ignites.
Black Moon Lilith: Lunar apogee. Symbol of exile and feral truth. If eclipses aspect her, shadow voices demand naming.
Synthesis: Eclipses = collective architecture (everyone passes the nodal gate) + individual architecture (which of your invisible points are activated determines how you experience it).
3. Knots and Binding (Nodes ↔ Kit ↔ You)
Nodes as knots (Rick Levine).
Kit’s Kanga method: tying/untying as ritual work.
Your dream: execution chamber = fatal knot, lucid turn = untying.
Knots = methodology of eclipse work: skilled binding/unbinding.
4. The Dream Omen: Execution or Liberation
Borders/gender as false binding.
Execution = unconscious eclipse.
Lucidity = Orpheus-turn, Hanged Man inversion.
Christmas Eve = omen of alterable fate.
Eclipses stage executions so we can see the prison.
5. Planetary Cast in the 2025 Eclipse
Jupiter in Cancer (trine NN + Lilith) = Ghost of Christmas Present. Present = gift.
Lilith = excluded voice.
North Node = the gate.
Saturn retro in Pisces = container, skeleton, stabilizer.
6. Rahu/Ketu as Demonic Teachers
Rahu = compulsive appetite.
Ketu = sudden cut/erasure.
Saturn = friendlier container.
Indian teaching: you either play with the dragon or it schools you.
7. Ma’at: Truth at the Gate
False speech binds, truth loosens. At eclipses, speak one truth aloud; align the scale; unbind the knot.
8. Trans* as Archetype of Crossing
As above, so between. Body as living knot, carrying multiple codes. Undoing prisons of binary. Living in dialogue with dead, unborn, unseen.
9. Big Picture: What Eclipses Are
Executions staged as liberations.
- Reveal prisons (the knot).
- Show all timelines at once.
- Illuminate knots so they can be untied.
10. The Medicine
- Maps are portals. Astrology/tarot = wayfinding across timelines.
- Nodes = universal structure. Always the eclipse gate.
- Other invisible points = personal resonance. Which ones light up shapes how you walk the corridor.
- Knots can strangle or sustain. Learn binding/unbinding.
- Truth is the key. One hard truth opens the gate.
- Planets are allies. Rahu/Ketu can ride you; Saturn steadies; Jupiter reveals; Lilith demands naming
- The present is the portal. Jupiter’s gift: fate is shown so you can choose differently.

Eclipse Architecture
Universal Architecture (always part of every eclipse)
- Nodes (North/South):
- Astronomical intersections of the Moon’s orbit with the ecliptic.
- Eclipses only occur when Sun + Moon align near these points.
- These are the universal “gates” — no nodes, no eclipse.
Personal Resonance Points (activated if touched by an eclipse)
Vertex / Antivertex:
- Where the ecliptic intersects the prime vertical (east–west overhead circle).
- Often linked to fate/encounters.
- Not part of eclipse mechanics, but if an eclipse aspects your Vertex/Antivertex, it can manifest as destined meetings or turning points
Lots (e.g., Fortune, Spirit):
- Calculated arcs combining Asc, Sun, Moon.
- If eclipses hit them, the effects show up in the areas they signify (body/material for Fortune, purpose/daimon for Spirit).
Ascendant / Descendant:
- The horizon points of your chart.
- If eclipses land here, identity/relationship axes are profoundly activated.
Black Moon Lilith (Lunar Apogee):
- The point where the Moon is farthest from Earth.
- Symbolizes exile, feral truth, wild feminine.
- Eclipses aspecting Lilith stir those themes of exclusion and raw power.
Threading into the Big Picture (Eclipse Weave 2.0)
Here’s how this refined architecture sits in the wider synthesis:
Nodes = the universal corridor. They are the structural knots where eclipses happen, the only truly “invisible point” required.
Other invisible points = how each of us enters the corridor. They aren’t part of the mechanism but of the experience.
- Vertex/Antivertex = personal windows of fate.
- Lots = personal floor plan (fortune, spirit, eros).
- Asc/Desc = personal doorway.
- Lilith = personal outer wall, edge of orbit.
So: eclipses are both collective architecture (everyone passes through the nodal gate) and individual architecture (which invisible points are activated in you determines what the eclipse feels like).
This keeps your “invisible points = scaffolding” insight true, while keeping the astronomy precise.
Reframed Medicine
Universal: At eclipses, everyone walks through the nodal gate.
Personal: Some will also feel the Vertex window blow open, others the Fortune floor shake, others Lilith scream at the edge.
Meta: That’s why invisible points matter most during eclipses — because eclipses are the rare moments when invisible architecture becomes visible, felt, embodied.
Eclipse as Architecture of Invisible Points
1. Nodes (Eclipse Gates)
Eclipse architecture
The nodes are literally where the Earth’s solar orbit and the Moon’s orbit intersect.
That’s why eclipses only happen there: they are structural knots in the system, the hinge where two orbital loops cross.
In ritual terms: they’re the door frames of the eclipse corridor.
2. Vertex / Antivertex (Encounter Axis)
Eclipse architecture
Defined as the intersection of the ecliptic with the prime vertical (east–west horizon line).
They’re the “crossbeams” where the cosmic corridor touches the horizon — fated encounters, synchronicities, unexpected crossings.
In eclipse architecture: they act like the windows, openings where outside presence rushes in.
3. Black Moon Lilith (Apogee)
Eclipse architecture
Jupiter in Cancer, our Pisces e…
The farthest point of the Moon’s orbit — where it almost flies off into space but is pulled back by gravity.
In eclipse work: Lilith is the outer edge, the threshold of exile, the reminder of how far we can stretch before being pulled back.
She’s the “outer wall” of the eclipse chamber, the feral voice echoing in it.
4. Lots (Fortune, Spirit, Eros)
Eclipse architecture
Not physical, but derived from distances (light → dark, dark → light).
They chart the movement between poles: Fortune (light → dark), Spirit (dark → light), Eros (from Venus/Lucifer, the light-bearer/lover).
In the eclipse, they’re the floor pattern — the map of how energy flows inside the chamber, guiding the direction of the ritual.
5. Ascendant (Personal Horizon)
Eclipse architecture
Where the heavens touch your body, the east point at birth.
In eclipse terms, the Asc is the door handle — how each person actually enters the corridor.
The Living Structure
So the eclipse isn’t just the Sun and Moon shadow-play. It’s a whole architecture built of invisible points:
Nodes = doors (orbital intersections).
Vertex/Antivertex = windows (horizon crossings).
Lilith = outer wall (limit of orbit, feral edge).
Lots = floor pattern (directions of light/dark flow).
Ascendant = door handle (personal entry point).
This matches your dream too: the prison/execution chamber you saw is not random — it’s the eclipse corridor itself, with its knots, bindings, and thresholds. And what you did (lucid turning back, Orpheus/Hanged Man move) was literally moving inside that architecture, finding another exit.
Why This Matters for the Grand Synthesis
This is the bridge you were missing:
Invisible points aren’t just “other tools” — they are the scaffolding of the eclipse itself.
Which means: eclipses are the meta-event where all invisible points converge.
That’s why your whole thesis about “things that are not things” finds its keystone in eclipses: they are the ritual where unseen coordinates become visible, felt, embodied.
astronomy - astrology
1. Vertex / Antivertex
Astronomy/Astrology baseline:
Vertex/Antivertex are not part of the mechanics of an eclipse.
They’re defined as where the ecliptic intersects the prime vertical (a circle that runs east–west overhead, cutting through zenith and nadir).
They’re sensitive points, like “second descendants,” activated often by transits and in synastry.
Relevance to eclipses:
Because they lie on the ecliptic, if an eclipse happens near your natal Vertex (or in aspect to it), it can be personally loud.
They’re not universal eclipse architecture like nodes; they’re personal eclipse entry points.
You’re right: this makes them situational. They matter when your Vertex/Antivertex axis is touched by an eclipse alignment, not in every eclipse.
2. Lots (Fortune/Spirit)
Astronomy/Astrology baseline:
Purely calculated points (arcs between Ascendant, Sun, Moon).
Not physical, but historically central in Hellenistic practice.
Relevance to eclipses:
Because eclipses are Sun–Moon alignments at the nodes, the Lots (which are formulas combining Sun, Moon, Asc) are structurally involved in how you receive eclipse energy.
Example: if an eclipse aspects your Lot of Fortune, it can show up in the body/material life. If it aspects Spirit, it can show up as vocation/daimon.
3. Ascendant/Descendant
Astronomy/Astrology baseline:
Asc = the point of the zodiac rising in the east at birth.
Desc = directly opposite, setting in the west.
This is literally the day/night threshold in your chart.
Relevance to eclipses:
If an eclipse hits your Asc/Desc, it’s identity/relationship axis.
You’re onto something with “moving from dark to light” here — the Asc is where sky objects emerge from night into day. That symbolism is baked in.
4. Lilith (Lunar Apogee)
Astronomy/Astrology baseline:
Black Moon Lilith = the point where the Moon is farthest from Earth in its orbit.
You phrased it as: “where the Moon almost flies off into space but gravity pulls it back.” That’s correct.
Relevance to eclipses:
Not part of eclipse mechanics.
But if an eclipse aspects Lilith in your chart, it can activate those themes of exile, edge, wildness.
5. Nodes (North/South)
Baseline:
This is the eclipse mechanism: Sun and Moon must be near a node for an eclipse to happen.
Nodes are the universal architecture; the other points are personal overlays.
Synthesis for You
So:
Nodes = universal eclipse doors (always involved).
Vertex/Antivertex, Lots, Lilith, Asc/Desc = personal eclipse activators. They’re not required for the eclipse to occur, but if an eclipse falls on or aspects them, they “light up” that invisible point in you.
That means your sense that these invisible points are part of the architecture of how we experience eclipses is right — but they aren’t all part of the astronomy of eclipses. Nodes are. The rest are resonance structures that tune the eclipse for each person.
